| Σύνοψη: | This study examines the relationship between the belief that God heals physical illness through miracles with depressive symptoms, and the possible moderating role of religious/spiritual (R/S) struggles. We utilise the Study on Stress, Spirituality and Health (SSSH), which includes community-based South Asian (SA) and American Indian (AI) samples and a sample of predominantly White female nurses. Results indicate American Indians are almost twice as likely as South Asians or White nurses to believe in miraculous healing. We document null associations between belief in miracles and depressive symptoms in the American Indian and South Asian samples; however, belief in miracles is linked to lower depressive symptoms among White nurses. Across all three groups, R/S struggles has a stronger association with depressive symptom burden for those who do not believe in miracles. |
